What Would You Do If You Knew You Couldn't Fail?

Category: Resistance

It is quiet in these early morning hours and I just want to live in the pause and savor them. Of course, part of me is quite ready to return to bed, having arisen too early for adequate rest. This morning, I am feeling a bit nostalgic, remembering when I was eighteen and purchased the […]

Yesterday, a client of mine took me to lunch at a decent restaurant and when my food came, I caught myself criticizing it before I had even eaten a bite. The onions where supposed to be caramelized and since I cook, I know that caramelization takes time and patience. These onions had not been cooked […]

I have had many, many conversations about resistance. Ego wants to tell me that if I feel resistance towards doing something that I should just forget about it and do something else. But that’s a problem because the work we are here to do is the work that we will feel the most resistance towards. […]

Today ACIM Lesson #362, “This holy instant would I give to You. Be You I charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace,” is about surrender.

I recognize that such a feeling is ego-driven; an attempt to keep things the same, to avoid change. Often […]

OMG! This is the perfect lesson for today, a day when we could be tempted to make ourselves miserable over something that happened that changed the direction we thought we were going to take. Instead of making myself bad or guilty, instead of blaming, we are choosing love and peace. The path is messy, but […]

This post from last year’s writing is a beautiful reminder that if I am busy trying to escape the present moment, I will miss it. Probably a particularly good thing for me to remember when we are on vacation, seeing people we haven’t seen in a very long time. Time to escape escaping and be […]

Today’s ACIM lesson from last year’s writing: I bless the world because I bless myself. In reading this, I realize how my thinking has evolved, and how much better I am at realizing that I can’t be separate from God and yet how effectively ego still sometimes lures me back to the same old traps. […]
